Colors of the Fall

The other day I went to a funeral service in a small village near my town. The atmosphere was overwhelming, and the weather was cold and cloudy. Gray, compact, stratus clouds. A heart attack; and he was not even old. Nor young, yet not old...

On the way towards the church and the graveyard, I've noticed many colorful chrysanthemum by the fences.

Lazing in the haze of midday...

While on my way back, I've shot some of them because I saw pretty colors in a gray day.

A Grey Day

The other day I was on a short trip by car, along with my daughter, around Malovăţ, near our city.

After some 15 km away from the city, we've spotted a high ground that allowed us to make some nice panoramas.

I must admit that I was completely unprepared. After just a few photos, my batteries must be replaced. All the other three pairs were discharged, so from this moment on I was only a car driver.

Anyway after some 5 km more, another place made us pull over, and this time I was using the camera of my cell phone.

Although it was grey, it was also a great day! A great day for taking photos.
